The First Haircut!

So Matt and I decided last week that it was finally time to take Marshall to get his hair cut. Not to mention we were getting a little pressure from some of my friends...you know who you are:)
So we headed to the barber shop where Matt always gets his hair cut by Elisa! She is wonderful but Marshall freaked out! I put him down in the chair and he reached his arms up for me and said 'mommy' in a very sad voice. So we thought maybe Matt would go first so Marshall could watch. He adjusted himself a little to the shop and we tried again. This time sitting on Matt's lap. As you'll see I spent most of the time trying to distract him from the actual haircut. He was spraying water all over the place and eating a sucker at the same time. I don't know what it was but he was not a fan of the haircut.
By the way I'm planning on learning how to cut his hair because it's so stinkin' expensive even for a kid!

Happy with a spray bottle and a sucker...this was his second sucker by the way.

Looking at his shoes to get him to put his head down...
This is one of my absolute favorite pics of all time. He's all done with his haircut but he just wanted to get out of that chair so bad. He doesn't really like being contained!

Wow it's so true that after they get their first haircut they look like a little boy. Bye bye baby Marshall!
